Cheetos scares Caviar users in trick-or-treat video series

PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division is scaring up awareness for its Cheetos brand through a partnership with mobile delivery application Caviar and a social media video series that promotes its Halloween products by surprising unsuspecting delivery customers.

Cheetos is rolling out a series of video clips featuring real Caviar customers who have placed an order through the app and are then surprised when they receive something they did not expect, along with a free pack of its Halloween treats. The frightening campaign filled with tricks and treats will continue for the month of October in an attempt to entertain social media users with comedic real-life reactions.

"Brands producing constant, real time content for social media can make the content just coupons or product quick hits and most often that is what is created and sent week after week," said Marci Troutman, CEO of SiteMinis. "With social media having that elusive viral component that brands are looking for, agencies and brands will provide entertaining content in hopes of the viral aspect hitting on one of their creations. 

"Entertaining content is important to try and try again, as it is not a straight line to what will work and what will not, but it is amazing when the jackpot is hit and one of the content pieces starts a domino effect around the internet," she said. "I believe it is important to keep reaching for that goal of viral as it not only is amazing exposure for the brand, but can produce incredible bottom line sales jumps."
